change text color on pop-up nav menu
Thanks Sledger... and thanks for quick reply.
I still have a lot to do on that website - alt tags (title tags), more images & text on right side bar, page descriptions, finish adding pages, etc...
As for fonts... even with websafe fonts - due to way WD formats text lines, if, for example, a viewer is missing Arial (for some reason), and site was done in Arial - throws the entire site off. Not complaining... just observing. I was missing Trebuchet and WD Welcome site was messed up with text overruns, etc...
Now to get back to figuring out how to get my pop-up nav menu on Seminar Info drop down menu to change text color as mouse goes over the text links... hmmmm - probably very simple once I figure it out. :-)

Hi Bob,
I've moved your posts out of the 'Dear Xara' forum as that is not the place for general questions and help with attached files.

Here you go Bob.
All I did was to ungroup your text elements on the sub menu, select the text element on each layer and group it to make it a graphic instead of text. So I grouped the text 'Basic Information' that resides on the SeminarPopup Layer, then I grouped the text 'Basic Information' on the MouseOver SeminarPopup Layer, and then reapplied the soft group to both groups. I then repeated this process for each item in the menu list.
I'm not sure what was keeping the text links from working, but as a graphic they do work. I would make sure to add Alt Text descriptions of what the buttons are now that they are graphics. You can do that in the Web Properties > Image tab.
The last item wasn't working as a button, but that was because it didn't have a link in the web properties, so I added one.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Eric

Eric - Thank you so much!
After reading through a lot of posts here, I was starting to think that may be the solution (graphic vs. text). You just saved me several hours of trial and error!
I have to go out now, but will take a look at the web file this evening when I return. Again - thank you for taking your time to help. I really appreciate this forum and have learned a lot just from reading through the various posts.
Thanks!
Bob
